You see, I recently moved house and at the moment we’re re-decorating the living room, and with that I went away for the weekend to London as a birthday present from my boyfriend. Added to that a full time job and a little time for myself, just where do I find the time to update this site?

Hopefully once the living room has been re-decorated I can concentrate a little bit more time on this site.

I am planning a good few articles including one about the basics of CSS, which has had quite a few votes on the Skribit widget (thank you!). Along with some wordpress related articles. I’ve also started writing an article on Meta Keywords and Description, and testing if they are infact important in the SEO world. So far, they are! But we will see at the end of the month when I can evaluate the results.

So, as you can see, even though I’ve not written anything for a week or so, I’m not planning on abandoning the site

Here is a simple bit of CSS that will center your website in most common browsers (IE6 & IE7, FireFox etc.).

Firstly, add these two classes to your style sheet.

.outer {
width:800px;
margin:auto;
display:table;
}

.inner {
width:auto;
margin:0px;
display: table;
}

The width in the “outer” class is the width of the site. You can edit this to how wide you want your site to be, but anything else leave untouched (unless you want to experiment of course!)

Now all we do is add two DIVS to the page, one with the class of “outer”, and one with the class of “inner”. Here is what it’ll look like:

<div class="outer">
<div class="inner">

</div>
</div>

That’s it! You will now have a centered website without using those horrid “center” tags!
